HBO 247 College Football with Mike Leach

[PeytonPass]

Like everyone, I’ve always been amused by Leach’s personality in press conferences. If you watch this episode about Washington State, I think we really missed out on a program builder. The guy isn’t just a gimmick offense guy. He knows how to build a cohesive, total program and is dedicated to it as his life.
What could have been.

I think we’ll be okay.

 

[Dudleys87]

Are we really going here again?

 

[Thorp32]

A leach hire would have advanced our rise to the top by 3 or 4 years. TN has never been a proving ground for new HCs. That is the American conf teams. We are a historical top 10 program. Pruitt was a mistake but we have to live with it.

Just like Kirby Smart had to learn on the job to, right?

Yeah....the results in year two are unmistakeably similar.

 

[LookinUp]

We've got the right guy. You guys expect magical results. He has ONE recruiting class in his tenure. Leach usually has lousy defenses, too.

Yea, he had better recruits left to him, thanks to Pruitt.

Pruitt really built that program up. I’ve read some articles about it!

I dont think "amusing" would fit well here.

 

[BigOrangeAl 1979]

Leach was the guy we should’ve hired. No doubt we would be 4-3 instead of 2-5

At a minimum. The air raid is fun to watch. Given a decent defense. He’s have a 1 loss team right now. They score at least 30 a game.

But he has a 4-3/1-3 conference team, now.
In his 8th season, he's responsible for his defense.

The air raid/fun is designed to score quickly. So if it worked then Tennessee’s Defense is burned out by the 3rd quarter if not sooner.

The power run teams would counter that by keeping us off the field. Resulting in very little to no wins in conference. I guess we could hang our hat on those OOC wins though.

He’s never been known to have a strong defense or a strong recruiter in general. So mix all that together and we still have the same threads talking about the same subject.

A 1 loss team with a system that is hit or miss and a tired defense. That’s a dream there.

Who gives a dayamm about Mike Leach? Tennessee's head football coach is Jeremy Pruitt!

 

[OleRockyTop]

I need to start taking a shot every time Leach is mentioned on this board

 

[illvol]

Help me out. Why would Leach be able to turn an SEC team around in one year yet has never...not one time...won a conference championship on a team he’s been at for significantly longer. I don’t get this logic. He has what...1 conference win in the PAC12 this year and he’s the savior of UT football? He’s last in his division right now...LAST!! And it’s a BAD division and in a conference that’s been down and ripe for the picking for an even decent coach. Stop fooling yourself.

 

[Lane Train 4]

He blew a 32 point lead in the third quarter! No game management,so no thanks I'll stick with Pruitt.

Pruitt lost to Georgia State and BYU.

 

[Other_Guy]

If you wanted Leach to bring stability to the mess and start a rebuilt, Im fine with that.
Long time I never believed he was the answer to take us to the promised land.

 

[Other_Guy]

Pruitt lost to Georgia State and BYU.

LOL you just compared a coach with 16 years of experience, 7 at his current school, to a guy in his 2nd year.

Sure looks like it pure powerhouse he’s coaching now. Thanks but no thanks I’ll take the guy we have over pirates and alien theories
